5. Identify Files to be Updated. Determine which files you want to update. Six types of files can be updated
using the FTP feature. In some cases, the file to be transferred has “Ftp” as the part of its filename just
before the suffix (or extension). So, for example, the file “mvpt1Ftp.bin” can be transferred to update the
bin file (firmware) residing in the MultiVOIP. Similarly, the file “fxo_loopFtp.cas” could be transferred to
enable use of the FXO Loop Start telephony interface in one of the analog VOIP units and the file
“r2_brazilFtp.cas” could be transferred to enable a particular telephony protocol used in Brazil. Note,
however, that before any CAS file can be used as an update, it must be renamed to CASFILE.CAS so that it
overwrites and replaces the default CAS file.

6. Contact MultiVOIP FTP Server. You must make contact with the FTP Server in the VOIP using either a web
browser or FTP client program. Enter the IP address of the MultiVOIP’s FTP Server. If you are using a
browser, the address must be preceded by “ftp://” (otherwise you’ll reach the web interface within the
MultiVOIP unit).
7. Log In. Use the User Name and password. The login screens differ, depending on whether the FTP file
transfer is to be done with a web browser (shown below) or with an FTP client program (varies).
8. Use Download. Downloading can be done with a web browser or with an FTP client program.
